Work from Your Heart

| The Tao Chapter 24 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Why do you do the work you do?

Is it to be seen? You may be seen as disingenuous.

Is it to be heard? You may be heard as a fleecer.

Is it to be in the spotlight? Your intention may dim the goodness of the work.

Is it to have power over others? The only true power you have over anyone is yourself.

Is it to esteem yourself higher than another? Your conceit may cause you scorn.

Or is it to simply do what comes from your heart? You are in accord with your Source.

If your pure intention is to do good for others through your work then your authenticity will speak for you.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, I invite you to reflect on the first, second and third interpretations along with this fourth and ask, are there any shifts you are prepared to make today in relation to aligning with the art of living as shared in the Tao?

My 2018 focus is to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. This is my fourth reading of Stephen Mitchell’s translation. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same.

Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
